Notes: "Benjamin Seymour ... was one of the first men to ever twist rope by machinery, that was operated by men and horses, before water power was used and steam engines invented.  His daily journals and letters have been passed down to me by relatives, written in Russia from 1787 to 1790; in Denmark and England, from 1790 to 1793, and in America, from 1793 to 1802,--the latter partly written in Plymouth, Massachusetts."--Pref., signed: Fannie E.
